Capo on 1Intro.: D Em/D A/D D x2
He said, “Son, hold it still, keep that [A/C#]beam shinin’ straight”[D/F#]
He’d have a 9/16ths in one hand, workin’ on that Chevrolet
It seemed like every Saturday soon [A/C#]as the sun went down[D/F#]
We’d be huddled under-neath that hood tinkering around
(Pre-Chorus)
And of all of the great memories I’ve had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad
(Chorus)
[D/F#]He’ll never how much he taught me out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars
‘Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight
Inst.: Em/D A/D D
He told me a lot of stories about [A/C#]grandpa and the war[D/F#]
While he was trying to show me what a car-buretor’s for
I learned a couple cuss words when he [A/C#]skinned his knuckles up[D/F#]
And I found out Momma was the only girl he ever really loved
(Pre-Chorus)
And of all of the great memories I’ve had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad
(Chorus)
[D/F#]He’ll never how much he taught me out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars
‘Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight
And to this day I still can’t make them run right
But deep in-side I know that it’s alright
’Cause I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight
